Y’all. It happened. I’m sitting at the Wheelhouse bar feeling good minding my business when I hear it… “Mr. S!” (That’s what my kids call me)…. Luckily it’s a former student in his mid twenties. Whew. Love this kid, great guy. Moments like this make it worth it.

The transition from Aretha to Jimmy Eat World in here was jarring, but I don’t hate it. Anyway, Woodford and diet from Pablo 🇲🇽, Club 6


looks like I forgot the pic, and that wouldn’t be fair to Pablo 🇲🇽

MDR menu didn’t look great to me tonight. Italian night. It seems popular, but I dunno, being solo the MDR is a tough sell with those hyper close tables and all. Plus I grazed real hard in the Elite Lounge yet again. May hit HC or room service later

I knew what I wanted and ordered a Vanilla Sky anyway. First bartender didn’t know how to make it. Said Adrian 🇵🇭 was the pro, he’s got me. Ten minutes later he went on break. Delmah 🇵🇭 stepped up, apologized, had to look up the ingredients, and made me a vanilla sky. Despite all that, this thing was delicious

Princess Live. As a lapsed Princess cruiser who previously had sailed on nothing newer than Ruby, I’ll give the hot opinion that Explorers > Princess Live

Ya I think Explorer's is one of the things I'll miss most on this cruise, it has such a fun unique vibe

really like the seating area at Crooners. Super clubby, classy, and comfortable. Haven’t seen the piano used here much at all yet, there’s always live music from the piazza right below. Seascape band is playing and just went from Its Raining Men to Night Fever. Also, it’s country music night so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow, this is crazy empty. Crooners was always packed with some rocking piano players on all the other Princess cruises I’ve been on. What happened?!

Yes, it can be uncomfortable, but I cook dinner seven days a week, serve myself, and then clean it up.  It would be easy to just go up to the buffet and be lost in the crowd, but I’d rather someone else cook my meal, serve it to me, and then do the clean up. Sometimes, I’m actually seated next to some very nice people, too. And, yes, those two tops are placed too darned close.
